The rewards are very nice, but the game is perfectly playable even without them, and supporting us on Patreon will never be required! It will simply help keep everything going and help fund further developement and improvement to the site!

Art Requirements
Fullbody, flat colored, at least a simple background.
Should feature both Drakiri together.
NSFW is allowed, HOWEVER, there is no way to filter it on the site, so if you do something NSFW, post it to a site that allows it and put a warning that it has NSFW content. That way, if a staff member is uncomfortable with NSFW, one who doesn't mind it can confirm everything.
Drakiri do not need their Rites to be included in this event.
Breeding items can not be included in this event
You will only get one geno unless it is a split litter, then both you and the other party get a geno
Brynn x Artha give you a full litter
1 - Common manes will not need a fine comb to style them! The rules are that you can't make them resemble another mane type, but you can completely redraw it from scratch. Small accessories (Ribbons, hair ties, stuff like that) are free to add
2 - Common Manes will not require Halfmane to remove parts of them (Meaning you can have it just on the neck and not down the back)
It can be lengthened or shortened a bit as long as it is not made to resemble Silken Mane, and, as always, bangs are completely free to add without an item to any of the manes.
For the common tail, you are fully allowed to style the fur to match any of the manes it is coupled with!
For common horns, you are allowed to modify and edit the horn, as long as it doesn't resemble any other horns, without needing an item!
You can use the horns already in the variants folder on most of the bases for inspiration.
They must not be too complex, and may not resemble any other horn types. Many do need to be moved into position, from those, for builds other than the Kainu.
As mentioned before. Short is no longer going to be a mane type, but rather a variant of Common, prepackaged and free to use if you want. What does this mean for those of you who have an Import with a short mane?
This will require you to submit a prompt. Find the one entitled "Other"; This is for anything not covered by other prompts. In the comment section of the prompt, list any Drakiri Import (Not geno, genos are handled differently) you have that has a short mane.
Under rewards, list the Common to Rare Trait Booster: Custom and Reformation Potion: Custom and choose which Uncommon mane you want them to pass on genetically on your Import. This will be what their trait is changed to for breeding purposes, with a note as to why the mane appears common on the import, but is listed as a different mane type in their information.
If you have a geno with the short mane, you're in luck! If the mane type says "Short", you get to choose which uncommon tier mane you want! It does not get downgraded to Common. Instead, the Geno essentially comes with a Reformation Potion: Custom, meaning that any geno that rolled with the Short mane will actually have a little more value.
Finally, if you do a custom mane style for any of the bases to be added to the Community Additions folder (And it matches up in quality and style with the bases themselves), you will get 10 Gratitude Tokens, 15$ in Arcanium, or 15,000 Aurics as a reward if it is accepted!
To get your community addition looked at and accepted, use the Prompt entitled "Community Additions"
The full file should be in Google Drive and linked in the URL field, and should be a full PSD file with layers. Your addition will be looked over, and if it blends nicely with the base and follows the rules, it will be accepted as a custom trait variant that anybody can use!
Coming next is a guide to the rewards to various items and community additions if they get accepted, to make it easier to tally what folks will get from sharing with the community. This will be a smaller announcement on the Discord, and added here.

Draw or write about how your Drakiri bonds with their friends, family, or other loved ones. This is a time of warm fuzzy feelings, love, and family, and many Drakiri spend the entirety of the colder months in their homes celebrating the year and their time together, warm and safe. Despite the dismal weather outside; the snow, and the cold, the howling winds and the biting weather, this time is full of warmth and joy.

In other news, the Combat roller is officially paid in full! ETA for completion is not yet known, but it is paid in FULL!
We have our Biweekly sale going still, check it out here!
With all this said, you will notice there being stats in the genos that are being submitted. This is because our Combat roller is in progress and being worked on, and stats are now able to be used on activities!
Each level has assignable stat points! Level 0 has them balanced out by default, but you are absolutely allowed to modify this! They are split between Combat Stats and Non-Combat stats!
Combat stats will effect Combat once that roller is complete.
None-Combat stats will effect activities!
Here is the breakdown (This will be edited into its own guide, and added under Levels, since Levels guide is currently outdated)
Level 0: Each stat has 7 stat points assigned to it with an additional 18 able to be spread across them. No one stat may be over 15 points strong. For an even spread, 10 can be added to each individual stat.
(60 total stat points to spread across 6 stats)
Levels 1: 24 stat points to spread across the combat stats. No more than 6 may be added to any one stat. For an even spread, 4 can be added to each stat.
Level 2: 24 stat points to spread across the combat stats. No more than 6 may be added to any one stat. For an even spread, 4 can be added to each stat.
Level 3: 24 stat points to spread across the combat stats. No more than 6 may be added to any one stat. For an even spread, 4 can be added to each stat.
Level 4: 24 stat points to spread across the combat stats. No more than 6 may be added to any one stat. For an even spread, 4 can be added to each stat.
Level 5: 24 stat points to spread across the combat stats. No more than 50 total stat points can be in any one stat. For an even spread, 4 can be added to each stat.
At Level 0, all Drakiri start with 9 stat points to spread across the 3 non combat stats. No more than 6 can be placed in one individual stat. For an even spread, 3 can be placed in each. (This is added in the Autofill by default!
Level 1: 12 additional stat points to spread across your non combat stats. No more than 6 can be placed in one individual stat. For an even spread, 4 can be added to each stat.
Level 2: 12 additional stat points to spread across your non combat stats. No more than 6 can be placed in one individual stat. For an even spread, 4 can be added to each stat.
Level 3: 12 additional stat points to spread across your non combat stats. No more than 6 can be placed in one individual stat. For an even spread, 4 can be added to each stat.
Level 4: 12 additional stat points to spread across your non combat stats. No more than 6 can be placed in one individual stat. For an even spread, 4 can be added to each stat.
Level 5: 12 additional stat points to spread across your non combat stats. No single combat stat can be over 36 stat points, giving a cap of a 12% boost to items found, rarity of items, or inventory weight for your companion (WIP, still being worked on). For an even spread, 4 can be added to each stat.
The total cap can be bypassed by a small amount with items, gear, spells, abilities, and other stat boosters
There will be a couple steps with this!
Step 1 - Go to your Import Page
Step 2 - Go to the Frames tab
Step 3 - View Cropped Character Without Frame
Step 4 - Open Image in New Tab
Step 5 - Save
*Note that if your Import is older, from DeviantArt, you will need to use the "Information Updates" claim to have a staff member get your full sized import off of DeviantArt and update the image for you, and then you can do the rest of the steps normally.
Step 6 - Under Settings, find "Update Design"
Step 7 - Add each of the stats in the order shown below, and add in the number of them you want (You can just give an even spread to all of them if you'd prefer that!)
Step 8 - Submit Request!
Step 9 - Once accepted, submit the claim entitled "Redeem Aurics" and add 1000 Aurics as a reward for each of your Drakiri you have updated the stats on! Make sure you add the URL for each Drakiri you updated!
They should appear in the following order
Combat
Strength
Defense
Magic
Spirit
Accuracy
Evasion
Non Combat
Intelligence
Perception
Charisma
You can see more information here, this will also give you a breakdown on what the combat system will offer once it is complete! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Oo_HibdI8Obm0YoJFYoLsBe31Z8taGkPtTqFYEw6z5E/edit
The other events are now finished, but you have 7 days to finish up your entries.
And finally, we have the Drakiri Dating Game Event, for February!
This one is a lot of fun! And has some special things attached.
Depict your Drakiri as if they are in a frame of a dating sim! You can add writing, game tiers, all sorts of fun stuff!
This should have at least a simple background, and at least halfbody, flat colored. This is meant to be lots of fun!
For Writing, you can write something fun and silly as if your Drakiri is part of a dating sim game! Describe the setting, describe their personality, or even write something as if they are making a video introduction for one of those dating shows.
This should total at least 500 words
At the end of the event, each entry will be rolled in a RNG "tournament" of sorts and the owner of the final two that make it to the end will each get a Full Rites Voucher to be applied to any Drakiri they own!
Start Time: February 1st
End Time: February 28th
Grace Period: 7 days after the 28th to finish up your entries, however any after the 28th won't be eligible for the "Tournament"
Art Requirement: Flatcolored halfbody, simple background
If doing Literature: 500 words, should describe something as if the Drakiri is in a dating game, or part of a dating sim, or playing a dating sim.
Reward
-A pack with both of the Valentines special genes!
Hearts (Rare Marking) (Hrt) - Marking, Creates hearts on the Drakiri, red or pink, or natural colors, unless glimmered
Cupid (Specialty Mutation) (Cpd) - Creates hearts floating all around the Drakiri, almost as if orbiting them
1000 Aurics on top of the amount you get from doing the art
The "Trait" you can pick for a Bantam is now just a little something you can add if you want to. This will not have any Gameplay effect, and will simply just mean your Drakiri is smaller than usually expected for their breed. It is entirely a lore trait! The breeding roller, however, still has the "Is Bantam?" trait there! The Drakiri will be rolled as normal unless otherwise specified. If you want it bred as if they are Bantam, just specify this in "Breeding Specifications" in the breeding form.
If you have a Bantam mutagen, or paid to have Bantam added to your Drakiri in the past, you can request a Universal Crossbreed Token in its place! Use the "Other" claim for this with any information you have.
If you purchased a Shrinking Potion (Before it was discontinued) you can get your Aurics back for it! They were 1000 Aurics apiece, so for every one you bought, use the "Other" claim to get an Auric refund!
Have fun!!!
This is the only time of year that you can get special Ultra Wildcards, which is what is generated and bred with your Drakiri when you procure a slot! This is also the only time of year that you can get an Error 404 slot!
There is a way to get one for free... Draw your Drakiri encountering the Error. How you depect this eldritchy glitched Errored Drakiri is entirely up to you, since it is never the same in any given moment! You will get a full Error 404 slot in return! You can purchase more from the sale, both for Arcanium, and for USD!
There will be another way to get a slot, announced in the Discord, so make sure you stay active and keep an eye out so you don't miss out! If you acquire two Error-404 slots, you can breed them with eachother.
In other news, we have had a lot of developement done!
1 - The activity reward system has been entirely overhauled to be much more fair for everybody! You'll be getting more and better rewards, and the stats actually help this even more!
2 - We have some new abilities! Bard, which currently acts like Promiscuous, but breeds with a randomly generated geno but will have more effects in battles! Adventurous, which gives bonuses to Dungeon Crawling and Rifting.
3 - Artless activities have gotten a pretty nice buff!
4 - Some clarification on the specialty levels has been added! They are now called Grandmaster (6), Elder (7) and Ancient (8). Also clarifying that these specialty levels are not actually official proper levels and do not give as much of a boost as the first five levels, as Level 5 is the endgame for Drakiri with the specialty levels just giving another special reward
5 - For every 1000 MP after Ancient, there will be a special little item pack as a thank you for your time and dedication!
6 - Charisma now boosts Aurics gained in activities! Each 1 Charisma stat point gives a 2% boost
7 - A new item is available for sale throughout this month, called "Go Fuck Yourself"! This allows a Drakiri to be bred fully with themself. If you do not own the Drakiri, you will need to use a slot, and you will need two slots to use them on eachother, and will need the permission of the Drakiri's owner.
8 - Lengendary Blood has been edited and balanced. It now has an effect on all marking rarities, and won't make legendaries pass like candy anymore. Legendaries will be special and rare again!
9 - We should have recipe categories soon, so that crafting, magic, alchemy, and cooking can get groundwork added!
10 - And finally, working on adding an update to allow trophies and awards!
And finally finally... Drakiri is gonna be getting much more and much faster improvements now that I have good, steady money to pay coders! We are screaming closer and closer to completion, rejoice!!!!!
Encountering the Error
Requirements: A drawing or written piece of your Drakiri encountering the Error. Should be flat colored with at least a simple background, fullbody or almost fullbody. (However you can get creative with the angles and composition without worry!) If written, it should be 1000+ words, +150 words per Drakiri added for doing multiple Draks for Error genos.
Special Notes: You may only get a single full slot to the Error with this event. You can, however, do art for other players, though they will need to redeem it for their full slot. You can, however, do this event again for a single geno breeding between the Drakiri depicted and the Error for a single geno as many times as you can draw it in the month! Unlike the full slot, this won't be able to use any items, but will be effected by abilities outside of litter increasing abilities. It will only ever be a single geno, since this can't be split. If you have a slot to the Drakiri, you may use that, but it will use your slot; otherwise, you will need to use your own. No more than three Drakiri can be depicted in this event Image and get the rewards.

Reward: (Are you getting the full slot, or are you getting the single geno? Note that you can only get the full slot once.)
Level 1 is now 100 MP, BUT!!!! You still get auto levelled if you complete all 3 Rites of Passage! (Formerly 80)
Level 2 is now 200, about double what it takes to get to Level 1 (Formerly 160)
Level 3 is now 350, just a bit less than half what it takes to get to Level 2 (Formerly 300)
Level 4 is now 600, just a bit less than doubling what it takes to get to Level 3 (Formerly 450)
Level 5 is now 900, a bit less than doubling what it takes to get to level 4 (Formerly 700)
The Specialty Levels have changed too, but not as much!
Grandmaster (Level 6 for rolling purposes) is 1300 (Instead of 1200)
Elder (Level 7 for rolling purposes) is still 1800
Ancient is still 3000 Once trophies are added in, a to be decided amount of MP past Ancient will get you a trophy that will come with a lil' item pack with a note next to the Ancient level! The change isn't TOO much! What does this mean for you? Well, if your Drakiri is already levelled, you can file a claim to fill in the missing MP for that level, but if they are not levelled yet, you'll need to use the new MP counts for future levelling. The change isn't drastic, but I hope this balances things a bit better without creating an endless grind!
With this being said!!! A lot of the bonus nerfs have been lifted making bonuses more worth it and making this have not too much effect for those who wanna put the work in!
From the Guide:

-They will get their own set of unique Fault Codes UNLESS extra Legendaries are added.
Payment Plans are absolutely allowed! 25% should be paid up front, and the rest can be discussed. Note that if you change your mind, you won't receive a refund, HOWEVER, you will get Arcanium for the amount paid. If you want to start the payment plan back up, it WILL be allowed, and the Arcanium will simply go back into the purchase if you haven't spent it already! If you have, however, you will have to start a new purchase.
Limit of 3 per user per sale

Did you sink time and money into an ARPG, only for it to shut down and leave you high and dry? Did you leave an ARPG for some reason or other, but really miss that special Import that meant so much to you over time, and dread starting all over again in a new ARPG? Do you want to explore other versions of your ARPG character for paralell universe shennanigans? Then this is the place for you! For drastically reduced prices, far cheaper than a Semicustom, you can transfer your character in to the big sandbox that is Drakiri-ARPG! If they have art done of them, this gets counted towards MP, and if they had breeding rites completed for the ARPG they came from, they will have breeding rites active here, too!

This journal is not being officially advertised, and is aimed, entirely, at people who are already Drakiri members.

First, we now have Gene Limits for genes being added to a Drakiri. This will be tracked in their notes.
This is genes added on to the base geno! Carried genes brought out with a Hidden Splendor do not count towards this limit, only applicators/ability potions/Mutagens added on.
The Limits are as follows:
Common Markings: Up to 10 common markings can be added
Common Abilities: Up to 8 common abilities can be added (This only counts for abilities added from ability potions, not earned from levelling or Rites)
Uncommon Markings: Up to 8 Uncommon markings can be added on |
Uncommon Abilities: Up to 6 uncommon abilities can be added on (This only counts for abilities added from ability potions, not earned from levelling or Rites)
Rare markings: Up to 5 rare markings can be added on
Rare Abilities: Up to 5 rare abilities can be added on (This only counts for abilities added from ability potions, not earned from levelling or Rites)
Mutations: Up to 4 Mutations can be added, with an additional 5 Magic Mutations
Legendary Markings: Up to 2 can be added
Legendary Mutations: Up to 2 can be added
Legendary Abilities: Up to 2 can be added
Coat Mods: Up to two of those can be added UNLESS you are using a Coat Modifier Bundle, then the Bundle counts as one.
This limit can be refreshed ONCE with an item! (The item is not yet available, but will be soon!)
When adding genes or items, please explain what is being added in the comment! If a lot of stuff is interacting, explain what is interacting with what to make the approval staff's job easier! If there is no comment explaining things, your design will be bumped with a comment asking for clarification. This will make things a ton easier on the staff, and will streamline the approval process and allow the queues to be gotten through more quickly.
Tweaks to Disappearing Inks!
Disappearing Inks had a few issues that have been ironed out!
1 - They were meant to be more expensive/harder to get than Gene Erasers... but I failed at math and they ended up being the same price since erasers are 500 Aurics and Inks were 1500 for 3 uses... which boiled down to 500 Aurics for an overpowered item
2 - Their intention was so you could hide a marking or two on a Drak that you couldn't get to work with the design As such, Disappearing Inks have gone through some changes! Disappearing Inks are now 2000 Aurics apiece, and they now only effect a single gene! Like before, there is no limit to how many you can apply to a single Drakiri, but they are more expensive and less powerful now.
A few little balance changes have been discussed and put into place!
-Master/Grandmaster/Elder/Ancient Drakiri MP bonuses no longer stack
-Leadership bonus no longer stacks
-Master/Grandmaster/Elder/Ancient bonuses have been clarified a bit to be easier to understand!
-A Gift Art bonus has been added! A Drakiri drawn as a gift receives +1 MP for themselves and for Drakiri around them. HOWEVER, you MUST have permission to use this Drakiri in a group setting for the bonus to apply to any Drakiri other than the one being done as a gift. This will either be as a note in the Drakiri’s profile, expressing that the owner is alright for them to be added to group pieces, or a comment made for this purpose as well. (The thread is located here https://drakiri.com/forum/43/~1776 )
-Gifts of Drakiri levels 0-2 will get an additional +1 MP on top of the Gift Art bonus for themselves and for Drakiri depicted with them. Like the original gift art bonus, the permission rules apply. This must be redeemed before the Drakiri is levelled up!
-Any stacking bonuses can only stack 4 times unless specified otherwise. The reason for stacking being removed once again is that the stacking actually ended up being way more overpowered than intended, and as a result was throwing off the level balance. We felt that getting rid of stacking was better than nerfing down the MP bonuses in the long run, and would still keep those rewards feeling nice and earned. If it ends up needed, the MP bonuses may get a boost to compensate for removal of stacking, but we will test how not stacking them works first.
You can now have three activity rolls in the Queue at a time. However, this will cover all the Draks in the image that you own, allowing them all the be rolled! Please wait 24 hours before submitting three more if they are rolled. It is no longer a limit on how many AR's are submitted weekly, but rather by ARs in the queue at once. As for why this is, this means that when staff are more active and have more time, more AR's can be done, BUT, if they are less active or have less time, they won't be overwhealmed. This is also MUCH easier for player and staff alike to track. Players can see active/pending submissions and staff can as well. I hope this is easier on everybody! As a reminder, this is NOT a permanent update! This is only in place until the automation is complete, which will be a while. Combat and the Level/Stat system is going to be completed first, and then Automation, so that both systems can be worked on together for that; it will make altogether less work for the coder working on it. Note that Artless Activities are not effected by this! You still can do three of these a month. This is temporary!
Artless activities will each need to be done in a separate claim due to a bug in the roller connected to Artless. Any Artless activities submitted after the shut down will be rejected if they have more than one being claimed at once
Since Drakiri's bases are stable, as are the markings, Makeover Tokens and Beautify Potions are now required for updating a Drakiri's design! Items that have been there for ages are now finally in use! Beautify Potion - Minor tweaks, or changes to the design. These will be used for minor tweaks that do not effect the Drakiri's genotype. ABeautify Potion is not required if you are adding an accessory to your Drakiri via an item! This is only required for updates to the design. As a rule of thumb, if the Drakiri's design is staying mostly the same aside from tweaks or improvements, or you are updating an accessory already there, a Beautify Potion is required to do so! This can also be for small stylizations of the mane, tweaks to improve it, or similar. Again, a Beautify Potion is not needed if you are adding a cosmetic item! Makeover Token - Major tweaks, major redesigns. This will need to be added if you are adding markings or mutations to existing imports! Anything that greatly changes the Drakiri's appearance or effects a Drakiri's genotype (Even if you hide the marking using a Disappearing Ink) will require a Makeover Token. A Makeover Token can allow you to completely redesign a Drakiri from scratch, transfer their design to a different breed, or similar. Note that if you are updating your Drakiri from an old base to a new base, neither item is needed to make this change UNLESS there are noticeable differences in the design! This being intentional changes, not a difference in style or a marking having to look different for a different base. (Minor changes will need a Beautify Potion, major ones will need a Makeover Token) Just mention in the comments that it's a base update in this case!
For the first 7 days each month, claims will be closed to allow any outstanding stuff from the month before to be completed, and then some time for the staff to just chill without having to worry about more stuff pouring in once it's all done.
This has been a long time coming, something I've been thinking about for over a year. Gratitude Tokens were always meant to be a nice little reward you got for being generous, but no amount of balancing will make it so they can't be farmed.
It has made gift art, and gifting in general, very transactional which ended up being really uncomfortable and meant that instead of people gifting folks just to gift folks, it turned into people exploiting other people’s Drakiri, without their permission, for the returns gained…this made a lot of people uncomfortable, and made people who wanted to do gift art afraid to do it because of the transactional feel of the entire thing... and that was never, EVER the intention.
Additionally, what is and is not a gift is very nebulous, and it is way, way too easy to trick the system for further exploitation. There really is no way to FULLY make sure, for every gift given, that it was gifted to be a gift. Which boils down to all “gifts” being turned into a transaction. It wasn’t healthy, and it was damaging our community.
As of now, Gratitude Tokens can no longer be earned. The system is being taken down and removed entirely.
The gratitude Token shop will remain, BUT, only to spend the GT you already earned.
What does this mean for all of you? There's a few choices on what you can do with your Gratitude Tokens.
1 - Trade them for Arcanium. $1 Arcanium for every 5GT. Use the "Other" claim to do this.
2 - Trade them for Aurics. 500 Aurics for every 1 Gratitude Token. Use the “Other” claim to do this.
3 - Trade them for Background Tokens. 1 Background Token for each 1 GT Use the “Other” claim to do this.
4 - Spend them in the Gratitude Token Shop, which isn’t being deleted.
5 - A combination of all of the above.
What does this mean for gifting slots and Draks, or donating slots and Draks? A new special currency is going to be added with a different purpose and different ways to get it. This currency will be paid as an option for donating genos or imports to the adoption center or releasing genos (With boosts for certain markings, starters, or genes in general that are oversaturated to encourage getting them out of the gene pool) - The system is mostly finished (I have notes down) but I am blanking on what this new currency should be called.
This new currency will only affect donated genos, imports or slots, rather than gifted ones. This will be the new way to get nice items (Markings, Mutations and Abilities) as well as a couple exclusives (Adoption Papers, maybe the occasional Advanced Adoption Papers) without having to pay USD or Arcanium, and without having to acquire them from other players via purchase or trade.
I know some of you might not like this update, but it’s been a long time coming. There is no way to make this system work without a few people farming it instead of using it as it was originally intended. This is one of those ideas that is wonderful in theory, but terrible in practice. It is, unfortunately, a case of we can’t have nice things because if something can be exploited and farmed, it will be. I have been wracking my brain for solutions, for ways to not have to get rid of the Gratitude Token system, but nothing clear came up.
This may seem drastic, but this is the only choice I can see. We want to encourage generosity, we want to encourage being nice to folks and brightening people’s days, but the transactional feeling of gift art because of the Gratitude Token system put a huge damper on that. It was always meant to be a nice little reward for being a nice person; not a resource or a currency to be earned. I am not going to be taking suggestions on this matter, this is something I’ve been thinking about for a LONG time. And it’s honestly necessary.
I am sorry for anybody who is upset with this change, but sometimes changes like this are necessary for a healthy game moving forward.
Double Uterus is going back to how it functioned before the site. This means that items/abilities that increase litter sizes no longer effect Double Uterus breedings. Making it no longer disable fertility abilities/items was experimental, and I think it's better balanced if it overrides those! It is being modified so the breeding doesn't fail if the item is added in, but rather outputs that the item was not used due to so it can be refunded back to the player
HOWEVER! There is a Double Uterus Disabler item that's gonna be added to the Auric Shop and to the roller, allowing you to use fertility items INSTEAD of Double Uterus if you prefer! This can be useful if you added DU, but have lore reasons not to have it take effect for a certain breeding, or if you want to control the number of genos a Drakiri puts out.
Beauty in Simplicity Beauty Pageant
A special event in Drakiri, a contest of sorts!

Depict your Drakiri (Written or drawn) showing off their beauty! This event has a few special rules, however!
This will need to be a fullbody flat colored image with at least a simple background, or 800 words written showcasing the Drakiri's beauty.
1 - The Drakiri may not have more than 6 visible markings (Disappearing Inks count as visible markings for this contest), and can not have more than 2 mutations!
2 - The Drakiri can not have a legendary gene (Marking or Mutation)
3 - No more than 2 color mods can be visible on the Drakiri
Enter using the "Beauty in Simplicity Beauty Pageant Entries" claim!
Prizes
First Place
$150 Arcanium
100,000 Aurics

HAVE FUN!!!!!!!
ANY artwork (That has at least a flat color, or a literature of 500 or more words) will have a loot table added; this loot table will give you 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 Halloween Candy, which can be used in a special Halloween shop!
In this shop, you can get the Halloween genes, Wraith mutagen, Corruption mutagens (With a few Entropy thrown in), and Nightmare breed changes!
While you can't redeem art for it YET, I will sell bundles of these Halloween candy for 10 candies for every $5 USD (No Arcanium at this time, since they will be perfectly earnable once everything opens back up. This is just for those of you who are impatient)
This was a lot, but now it is all in one place. Thanks for reading!
All queues are being closed down, including design approval, breeding, activities, everything.
Note that this is NOT permanent! Drakiri is NOT! shutting down!
There is no ETA for how long it will take, HOWEVER, this is so we can focus on actually going in and fixing all of the issues that have been weighing us down for ages.
Some of the things on the table first are
-Rebalancing Activity rewards
-Rebalancing breeding
-Enacting Breeding Limits
-Setting up crafting recipes
-Setting up magic spells
The bug was fixed for ages, but I never had the energy to do it
-Finish up the Zarkantas being brought in and added to the site so there can be a proper event introducing them, and so folks who have been so patient don't have to keep waiting
Additionally, the combat system, level and stats, and some other systems are actually next up on the coder's projects. So there may be some testing reopening of the queues during that time.
All current queues will be worked through whenever we have the time and energy to do it.
Some other stuff being done during this downtime includes
-Bringing all the lore and worldbuilding together, making things much more clear
-Improve Navigation and information, make things less scattered and confusing
-Making a proper map
-Making proper regions
-Reworking the activity prompts to make them much more engaging and fun
-Consolidating the worldbuilding into one place, creating a wiki with information
-Reworking the design guide
-making final, clear, consistent set of design rules, while still keeping the creative freedom we all know and love
-Outline some more rules on marking interactions
-Looking at markings, seeing if any need to be brought back from being combined
-Complete overhaul of the starters and starter system
-Fix up problems in bases, layering issues, glaring anatomy issues, there's some various "bugs" over time that have built up that I have not seen or have but never got around to fixing. Will have a channel set up to report these issues, with a form so that it's easy for me to go through and fix them without getting overwhelmed and lost
-Actually get item art, either commissioned or licensed from a paid vector stock site, then uploaded so items have art
It is up and running! You can log in, look around, all that. It MIGHT be a little slower because it's on a much smaller (And cheaper) server.
It's an exact copy of Drakiri as it is with all Drakiri and all items intact. You can log in to the Drakiri Archive site, view your inventory, all that - you can't actually do prompts and NO game functions will be going over there. It isn't connected to an email server, none of that. But all your credentials are intact because the database was moved over as an exact copy. I will be adding a different CSS to diffrentiate it.
Draks in the Archive can not be used, can not be submitted to be designed, can not be bought or sold or traded. (I guess technically you can but they are useless until transferred in). It is a backup, so I can start working on the Reboot here!
The archive is in read only mode (You can't file claims, can't do anything, but you CAN log in! If you forgot your password, contact me directly. I can force a new password in for you, then you can change it to whatever you want. Sendgrid and the email server is NOT connected to this archive.
Feel free to log in and poke around and let me know if anything is amiss! I am going to start working on clearing the database once it is done - All Drakiri and all player inventories are going to be wiped on the main site. The Archive is storage; it will be up indefinitely. As Draks are transferred over to the refreshed site, they will be deleted from the archive.
Everybody will get 15 Transfer Tokens they can use to start bringing Draks over once I have the new items and item lists set up.
Drakiri that you purchased from me directly (Semicustoms, Full Customs, Draks from character transfer tokens) do not require one of these new tokens to bring them in. Note that this is NOT READY YET... I'll announce when we are at that point but I have the entire Starter overhaul to do first!
The sheer amount of items is going to be lowered, drastically, and all those items that were implemented but never had a use are going to be yeeted. I'm going to have to refresh myself on a lot...but the idea I have is the ability to create amulets and other gear which can be embued with various abilities, and those can be equipped to your Drak with a weighted inventory system, which will increase as the Drak levels up.
A LOT of changes are coming, and a lot of half finished systems are simply being done away with until I have the resources to add them. Drakiri will be a bit simpler for a while, but hopefully this means we'll be reopening soon!
I will be announcing more as it happens but the first order of business is clearing inventories via the Database, then clearing all the Drakiri.
And then I will be bringing in the new starters (Starter system is getting a complete overhaul, the existing Fault Codes are being reassigned, and when Draks are brought in, they will be assigned new fault codes and lineages. This is a fresh start. It'll help widen the gene pool and solve a lot of problems we have been having)
TL:DR
Do not be concerned when you see your inventory wiped and all your Drakiri disappear.
They are all backed up on the archive site! And there will be ways to bring them back in!
]]>Claims are open again! The first Claim you all can do is the Relaunch Redeem Claim!
File that claim to receive 15 Transfer Tokens and a single Riftborn Random Geno - Wildcard! It's considered a "Preorder" right now because they aren't fully released, but the base is done.
I am waiting on one small thing before starters are going up and then transfers can begin, which SHOULD be done this weekend.
You can check the Silver Nugget Shop to see what will be available - the release event will be set up likely next week, but the Silver Nugget Shop is already open. And yes - you CAN trade silver nuggets to other players!
Note that you can not have your geno rolled until the starters are up, but that should be soon.
Note that you can not start transferring in yet! Once a small update is made on the autofill, the new breed details are added, and the new starters are all uploaded with their Fault Codes assigned, the soft relaunch will begin and Draks can start coming in.
The Release Event is planned to start next week, where you can release Drakiri from the Archive to get Silver Nuggets, which you can use to get the new breed and used to get more transfer tokens.
Bringing over your inventory will start next week too. Everybody will get 15 Arcanium + 1 Arcanium for every 1500 Aurics, and any items that aren't being discontinued can be brought over (Shop items, stuff like that)
While items and such are overhauled, there will be a series of art prompts you can do to earn Aurics and Items so you can use the shops!
Breeding will open first, then activities (Including combat! The roller is not as detailed as originally planned, but it functions and it'll be a new thing that can be added!) and then I will be adding in crafting, gear, amulets, and the new system for abilities (Embued Amulets that give the Drak an ability while they are equipped. I haven't decided how amulets will work just yet, but I am thinking that a new item is made for that amulet, allowing it to be equipped with the decription saying what it does, and when the amulet is removed, it's destroyed, and the item is deleted. More manual work for those of us doing claims, causing equipping to require a character update, but it works until I can find something to automate it) - and the magic system will be worked on next (Once I figure out Skill Trees)
Levels and Stats are planned for a rework to use the Level and Stat addon, but for now they are staying as is.
Abilities: 1 Silver Nugget each, regardless of rarity (Being discontinued
Common: 1 Silver Nugget (This counts for each common trait and the common breed, so the base for a Kainu with all common traits is 5 Silver Coins)
Uncommon: 2 Silver Nuggets
Rare/Specialty(Holiday and Magic genes): 3 Silver Nuggets
Legendary: 4 Silver Nuggets
Mutts: Uncommon
Crossbreeds, count once, for the rarer breed in the cross. (So Kainu x Nightmare would count as rare, for example)
Faults do not count, they don't add or remove any nuggets
To release a Drakiri, go to the archive site: https://drakiri-archive.com/ and select the Drakiri you wish to release. You can release up to 5 at a time per claim.
The claim to fill out: Release Event
Make sure you file the claim here, not on the archive. Though the Archive claims are closed while they are open here.
Tally out the amount of silver nuggets they will get, add that to your rewards. Link the Drakiri being released as well. Note that once deleted, that Drakiri can never be reclaimed. It is gone for good, off living its own life somewhere in the world!
You will receive Silver Nuggets, and the Drakiri will be deleted from the archive.
You can then go to the Silver Nugget Shop (https://drakiri.com/shops/13 )where you can preorder the new breed or get more transfer tokens to bring more of your favorite Drakiri over! I will be adding a few more items over time.
Note that you can't start transferring Drakiri over yet. Once the starters are up, I will then set up a claim to use your transfer tokens to bring your favorite Drakiri over, and instruct how you can bring your inventory over.
